Sleep.  The all-important sleep that seems to get away from us too often.  We go to sleep too late, wake up too early, and we just miss the sleep we need.  We wake up tired, exhausted and cranky.  Then we have to get ready for work, school, and maybe get our kids ready for school which is nearly impossible sometimes.  But fear not, Starbucks is here to save the day and perk you up with some energy that you desperately need!

Make your mornings easier with some much-needed coffee from Starbucks.  Try their espresso shots or espresso dark roast coffee for a wonderful boost of energy.  Feel the caffeine energize you as you can now tackle all of the items on your to-do lists.  Go to work excited and accomplish all of your tasks, get your kids ready for school in record-speed time, and all with a smile on your face!

Try the ice coffee packets that you can easily put into your water while you’re on-the-go!  These delicious boosts of caffeinated energy that you can easily keep with you and use when you need a pick-me-up.  Try the blonde roast coffee if you like a lighter brew coffee but with just as much caffeine.  Or try the delicious mochas, lattes or blended Frappuccino drinks for some extra sweetness!

Everybody loves shopping!  Shopping is made simple nowadays with apps that you can shop from on your phone, tablet or website online. You hardly need to go in to the store anymore.  But still, there are malls and retail stores all over.  So, what’s the real difference between online shopping and in-store?

When you shop in-store, you can see the clothes you want to buy.  You can try them on, see how the clothes look on you, the color, the material, the actual sensation.  You can try on different sizes or colors of the same item, and then decide on an entirely different piece of clothing.  When you enter in a store, you are usually greeted immediately by a friendly, smiling employee.  If you need help finding something, they are usually right there to help you.  Furthermore, when shopping in-store, you don’t have to wait for the item to be shipped to you—you can take that item home with you right there and then. 

However, online shopping is very different, but can be more convenient for some people.  You can shop online at all hours of the day, not just when the store is open.  You can compare item prices from other stores, save items to a wish list, and see recommended items that you might not easily find in a store without walking around for hours.  Shopping online is also preferable sometimes because products aren’t usually out of stock.  While a store might have run out of a product, you can find that item online and have that sent to you. Especially nowadays where the deliver times have been reduced to just a few days. 

So, while both shopping online and in-store have their perks, any gift card that you have will work at both places!  If you prefer to try your clothes on in-store or buy them online at any hour of the day, you can always use your gift card either way!
